"Good morning, aviators." Maverick zooms past mine and Bradley's aircraft. "This is your Captain speaking. Welcome to basic flight maneuvers. As I said before our exercise today is dogfighting. Guns only. No missiles. We will not go below the hard deck of 5,000 feet limit You have to work as a team and shoot me or else."

"Or else what?" I scoff.

"Or I will shoot you back." Crap I forgot he can hear me. "If I shoot either one of you, you both lose."

"In that case we're screwed." I look to Fanboy and Payback's aircraft. "I've heard how you boys fly."

"We got this! Let's put some skin in the game." Payback smirks.

"Oh come on boys we can't pick on the old man." I wink, not that anyone can see me too well right now.

"What's on your mind?" Maverick sounds intrigued. This should be good.

"Whoever gets shot first has to do 200 push-ups." Payback's proposes. I think I'll pass.

"That's a lot of push ups." Dad sighs.

"Yeah and I don't like doing push-ups." I hiss. That's one thing I got from Pete.

Fanboy snorts. "They don't call it exercise for nothing, Cherry Bomb."

"You've got yourselves a deal, gentlemen." I scoff at Maverick's comment. "And lady. The fight's on. Let's turn and burn."

"Now we definitely have to win. I haven't worked out in six months." I mumble.

"No wonder the planes so hard to pull up." Bradley mumbles.

My jaw drops. "Bradley!"

"I'm kidding!" He laughs. "Fanboy, Cherry Bomb, do you see him?" Rooster inquires.

"I would say look for yourself but my fat butt is probably blocking the view." I comment.

"There's nothing ahead on the radar." Fanboy says changing the subject.

I look around the area."He must be somewhere behind us." My eyes widen as I look down. More like under us. Before I'm given the chance to properly warn them, Maverick comes soaring in between our places. "Watch it!" I shriek as our plane goes sideways. Rooster curses under his breath, turning us back up right.

"Maverick. Let's not get fired on the first day..." Maverick whispers to himself.

"I wouldn't mind that." I sigh as I catch my breath. I look over to see him coming towards us.

"Tally, tally, tally! Maverick is coming in! Let's break left!" Fanboy exclaims.

"Payback where's your wingman?" Maverick asks tauntingly.

"Rooster, where are you?" Payback asks.

"I've got your back, man. Don't worry." We dive down and try to get behind Maverick. "I'm coming. Hang in there, hang in there!" We finally reach them. "Payback break right!"
